FUOYE Post UTME 2026/2027: Deadline, Cut Off Mark and How to Apply

FUOYE Extends the Post UTME Deadline to 16 August 2026

If you are applying to Federal University Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) for the 2026/2027 session, you now have a bit more breathing room. The registration portal was originally scheduled to close on 3 July 2026. It was then reopened and pushed back to 2 August 2026. The university has since extended it again, and the new closing date is now 16 August 2026.

That gives you a fresh window to complete your application if you missed the earlier dates. Even so, deadlines for this cycle have moved more than once already, so it is worth checking the official portal directly before you assume you still have time. Do not rely on any single article, including this one, as your only source of truth on dates.

What Is the FUOYE Post UTME Screening?

Post UTME is the screening exercise that Nigerian universities run after JAMB’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. FUOYE calls its version the University Pre Admission Screening Exercise, or UPASE, and it takes place entirely online.

Your Post UTME result does not stand alone. FUOYE combines it with your UTME score and your O’Level grades to produce the final ranking used for admission. In other words, even a strong JAMB score will not get you in on its own. You still need to complete this screening step.

Who Can Apply

Before you register, check that you meet these basic requirements.

JAMB Requirements

You must have sat the 2026 UTME and selected FUOYE as your first choice institution. You also need a valid JAMB registration number and a printed copy of your UTME result slip.

Minimum UTME Score

Reports on FUOYE’s minimum entry scores for 2026/2027 vary by source, so treat the numbers below as a general guide rather than a fixed rule for every candidate.

• General minimum for many programmes: around 150
• Mass Communication, Computer Science and similar high demand courses: around 200
• Pharmacy: roughly 230 to 240
• Nursing Science: around 240
• Medicine and Surgery: the highest reported minimum, between 260 and 280 depending on the source

Because departmental cut off marks change from year to year, confirm your programme’s exact minimum score on FUOYE’s official release before you apply.

O’Level Requirements

You need at least five credits in subjects relevant to your intended course, including English Language and Mathematics. These should come from no more than two sittings across WAEC, NECO or NABTEB. Candidates applying for Medicine (MBBS) usually need all five credits from a single sitting.

Direct Entry Candidates

If you are entering through Direct Entry rather than UTME, you typically need at least two A Level (or equivalent) passes in relevant subjects, or an ND at Upper Credit level in a related field. Check the portal for the full subject combination rules that apply to your course.

How to Register for FUOYE Post UTME

Once you have confirmed your eligibility, follow these steps to complete your application.

1. Go to the official portal at putme.fuoye.edu.ng/utme. Confirm you are on this exact address before entering any personal details, since older links such as ecampus.fuoye.edu.ng/putme are no longer current.
2. Find the admission menu on the right hand side of the homepage.
3. Click “Registration Steps” and read the instructions in full before you begin.
4. Log in using your JAMB registration number.
5. Complete your profile with an email address and phone number you check often. The portal sends an activation link to this email, so accuracy matters here.
6. Verify your email by clicking the activation link, then log back in.
7. Make your payment by following the on screen instructions.
8. Upload your O’Level results and any other required documents.
9. Print your registration slip once everything is submitted. Keep it safe, since you will need it later in the process.

Fees and Payment

The screening fee for 2026/2027 has been reported at around ₦2,000, with an additional registration or processing charge of roughly ₦1,000. That puts the total cost in the region of ₦3,000, though you should confirm the exact figure on the portal before paying.

Payment is made online through a bank debit card directly on the official screening portal. Only pay through this official channel. Never send money to an agent or a third party claiming they can register or fast track your application, since this is a common source of scams during admission season.

Documents You Will Need

Gather clear digital copies of the following before you start your application:

• A printed, coloured copy of your JAMB or UTME result slip
• Your O’Level result from WAEC, NECO or NABTEB
• Birth certificate or a valid national ID
• Certificate of Origin or a Local Government attestation letter
• A recent passport photograph
• Any additional attestation letters your programme requires

Having these ready in advance will help you avoid delays once you start filling in the form.

What to Expect During Screening

FUOYE conducts its Post UTME screening online rather than through a single fixed exam date. The exact format, including the number of questions and how subjects are weighted, is published on the portal and can vary from one candidate group to another. For that reason, it is best to check your own registration slip or portal dashboard for the exact details that apply to you, rather than relying on figures quoted elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the FUOYE Post UTME portal still open? Yes, as of this update the portal remains open until 16 August 2026. Since this deadline has already shifted twice this cycle, check putme.fuoye.edu.ng/utme directly to confirm the current status before you assume registration has closed.

What is the minimum JAMB score I need? Most programmes require a minimum of 150, though competitive courses such as Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy require considerably higher scores. Check your specific programme’s approved cut off mark on FUOYE’s official page rather than relying on a general figure.

Can I apply if FUOYE was not my first choice on JAMB? Generally, no. FUOYE’s screening eligibility is normally restricted to candidates who selected the university as their first choice during UTME registration.

How is my final admission score worked out? FUOYE typically combines your UTME score, your Post UTME performance and your O’Level results into one aggregate score used for ranking. The exact weighting can change from session to session, so check the current guidelines on the portal.

What if I forgot my JAMB registration number? You can recover it directly through JAMB’s own portal at jamb.org.ng using the email address or phone number linked to your original registration.

Does meeting the cut off mark guarantee admission? No. FUOYE has stated clearly that meeting the minimum cut off mark does not guarantee admission on its own. O’Level results and Post UTME performance are also weighed, and competition depends on how many candidates apply for each programme.

CONCLUSION

FUOYE’s Post UTME deadline has already moved twice this cycle, from 3 July to 2 August and now to 16 August 2026. That pattern is worth remembering. If you still need to register, use this extra time wisely rather than waiting until the final days, since server issues tend to spike close to any deadline.

Above all, treat the university’s own portal as your primary source. Third party guides, including this one, are useful for context and preparation, but only FUOYE can confirm your eligibility, your cut off mark and whether the deadline has changed again.
